The Gallagher Blog from the Gallagher Law Library at the University of Washington School of law reports that the LexisNexis ASPIRE program offers free access to graduating and rising students pursuing verifiable public interest work.

According to the post, free LexisNexis access will include federal and state cases, codes, regulations, law reviews, Shepard’s®, and, for the first time, Matthew Bender® treatises. To ensure you don’t receive unanticipated or unwanted charges, other materials will not be visible.

Eligible students and graduates:

• (NEW this year!) Rising 2Ls and 3Ls who pursue verifiable public interest work. You must work directly for a non-profit or charitable organization.
• All spring 2010 graduates who pursue verifiable public interest work, including:
  • Deferred fall associates pursuing public interest
  • 2010 graduates pursuing public interest work while searching for employment
  • 2010 graduates who pursue public interest work as a continuing profession

Exclusions include:

• Government work (even if unpaid)
• Work for a law firm (even if it represents a non-profit organization)
• Solo practice (even if it encompasses non-profit work)
• Pro bono work that is not non-profit or charitable in nature
